[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read the 5 love languages. It helped me understand, and appreciate, that my less-than-verbally-expressive partner really was demonstrating his love for me in the ways he was able. I still want more verbal affirmation, but that’s not who he is, and the book helped me feel better about that. [/quote] Op here. Yes totally you’re right. I don’t think it’s that he’s withholding verbal support, it’s just not part of who he is and I don’t see that changing. I know I need to embrace his strengths but as an example, I was sharing DD’s prognosis with him today and he was mostly just kinda silent. He didn’t say anything hardly at all or show any reaction. And in my crazy late night mind, I start imagining things to fill in the gap like that maybe he thinks it’s my fault that DD is sick or that I’m handling this wrong, even though there’s no evidence for that.[/quote]
